I have a Bartlien LV #8 contour 20 cal 11" twist Stainless blank for sale...$400.00 shipped. It is 29" long so should finish plenty long. I also have this listed locally so first come first serve.

Thanks, Jerry

There is a group buy going on over at saubier.com for 20 cal barrel blanks in the small caliber discussion forum for anyone interested in getting a Bartlien 20 cal barrel.

I concur...Satern all the way. I have them in 17, 20, 6mm, and 30. Wished they would have had them 30 years ago...

Have you tried lubing the locking lugs on the bolt and cleaing the recesses in the action? Sometimes some grit can get lodged there and prevent the bolt from closing. Do the lugs look smooth or is there some galling present? Other than trying some different brass and making sure that the bore is cle...

One solution is to use a 20 cal Satern funnel. It will sit on the case neck and you can throw directly from the measure. Or go to Sinclair's website and see if you can get a drop tube with an adapter.

Merry Christmas

I use a Sinclair arbor press with Wilson bushing dies and seating dies. There is an included base to use with the sizing die that elevates the die and traps the spent primers under the base. It doesn't take much force to neck size the brass. And Skipper is quite correct in that runout is held to min...

I got this info off of another site about adjusting the Howa trigger: The Howa 1500 has two trigger adjustment screws identified as the front trigger adjusting screw and the rear trigger adjusting screw. They can be identified by screws with locking nuts. The front screw is for trigger pull, loosen ...

Vartarg....sorry to hear about your problem and wait with Cooper. I hope that the turn around time is faster than 6 months for me.... I guess that I could open up the seater die...and as I have looked at some other posts I see that the bulge is not unique to me...It's just that I have seveal other r...

Forgot to mention that even thought the chamber is loose...the barrel was an excellent shooter as I was getting some great groups with several different powders and bullet weights. The loose chamber just bugs me to no end....but Cooper is very willing to keep their customers happy and I have no comp...

Thanks for the info....I have a Cooper Phoenix in 204 Ruger and after prepping new brass and firing the brass expands .0075 right in front of the web. But it does most of this on one side. In other words the expansion is not even around the case. I have spoken to Cooper and they sent UPS out today t...

Hello, I was wondering if I could get someone to mic a 204 Ruger unfired case in Norma brass. I have been having a problem with R-P and Win brass being undersized right in front of the web. I have been getting .370 on Win brass and .371 on R-P. I was curious if Norma brass was closer to spec. Thanks...

I wish all here and their families a great Thanksgiving day! I also wish the families and loved ones serving in the armed forces in harms way a great Thanksgiving day. Hopefully all will return safely...

While it is not advisable to reverse direction in the bore with a cleaning brush, you are lucky that you got it out. I use a Lucas bore guide and Boretech cleaning rod and that combo works great. The Boretech Elimator solvent is also good, as well as Wipeout and Patchout products. I believe that you...
